AUSTRALIAN KEURING RESULTS

APRIL 2003

Introduction

If you have not already done so, we suggest you  review the Introduction and Background pages for the 2000 Keuring to gain a better understanding of the Keuring process.

The 2003 Keuring is only the second time the KFPS judges have travelled to Australia to assess our horses. As yet no Keurings have taken place in New Zealand though it is hoped that the 2006 Keuring will encompass New Zealand. 

Mr Jan Hendriks ( who also judged at the 2000 Australian Keuring) returned to Australia in April 2003 to assess the Australian horses accompanied by Mr Edward Pouw. The schedule was hectic and the travel was extensive with five judging venues from Perth to Brisbane and a total of 47 Friesians to assess, all in approximately 10 days.

As is usual the presented horses were judged in-hand and 60% of the evaluation was based on the quality of movement and 40% is based on conformation.

The ANZFHS/KFPS Keuring was held in April 2003 and spanned five states of Australia.
